Abstract

Bamboo is of vital importance from ecological, commercial and socio-economic points of view. The bamboo resources in the country are shrinking day by day due to various reasons, particularly due to un-establishment of bamboo clump after the gregarious flowering of bamboo. After gregarious flowering, the natural regeneration of bamboo species forms carpet on forest floor and remained in whippy stage for several decades. The present paper deals with the eco-silvicultural interventions for rehabilitation of bamboo after gregarious flowering. The treatments were given after formation of bamboo elites. The findings revealed that after post flowering treatments, the clump formation and culms growth found significantly improved. Without post flowering treatments the bamboo growth found in whippy stage even after the decades of gregarious flowering. The post flowering treatments should include protection from fires and grazing, proper spacing along with digging of carpet regeneration, cut back operations, soil working and canopy manipulation.
